Original Article

Posted By: 4250Luis, 8/1/2025 9:25:21 AM

The Daily Beast took down an article Thursday alleging a modeling agent connected to notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania Trump to her husband, President Trump. The article, which detailed claims made by author Michael Wolff on a Daily Beast podcast, was replaced with an editor’s note apologizing “for any confusion” after the first lady’s lawyers contacted the lefty outlet. The article suggested that Melania met her husband through a modeling agent connected with Epstein and Trump. Getty Images “After this story was published, The Beast received a letter from First Lady Melania Trump’s attorney challenging the headline and framing of the article,” read the editor’s note.

FTA: “After reviewing the matter, the Beast has taken down the article and apologizes for any confusion or misunderstanding,” it added. Why didn't you review the article BEFORE you published it??? I hate to say this, but...SUE THEIR PANTS OFF!!!

Agree #1.That was the first thing they should have done. However, if an article, report etc.aligns with an outlet's opinion it is felt that no review or fact-checking is necessary. It must be true!!!

Scum of the Earth. And idiots too. Mrs. Trump successfully sued the Brit Daily Mail for lies in 2017 and obtained one of the largest settlements in their publishing history. As well as a front page, full page apology. I hope the Beast is sued into oblivion.

Ex-DOGE staffer nicknamed ‘Big Balls’

attempt by 10 juveniles

A 19-year-old former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffer was beaten and bloodied by a mob of 10 minors early Sunday morning as he thwarted a carjacking attempt in the nation’s capital, according to DC police. Edward Coristine, whose LinkedIn handle earned him the nickname “Big Balls” at DOGE, was with a woman near downtown DC when he saw the group of juveniles approach their car and “make a comment about taking the vehicle,” according to a Metropolitan Police Department incident report obtained by The Post. “At that point, for her safety, [Coristine] pushed his significant other … into the vehicle and turned to deal with the suspects,” the dramatic report continues.

Sen. Adam Schiff, the man who never missed a chance to lecture America about ethics and accountability, is now the focus of a full-blown federal criminal investigation. On Tuesday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland, hardly a bastion of right-wing activism, revealed it is actively pursuing Schiff for alleged mortgage fraud. This isn’t some garden-variety political dustup—Schiff faces accusations that he repeatedly lied about his primary residence on federally backed mortgage applications spanning over a decade, from 2009 through 2020. While representing California in Congress, Schiff allegedly listed a Maryland property as his primary address to secure.

Texas Dems Run to Illinois to Deny a Quorum

As expected, Texas Democratic legislators have fled the state to deny a quorum for Gov. Greg Abbott's redistricting push. The members flew to Illinois on Sunday, which qualifies as peak irony given that the blue state is arguably the most gerrymandered in the country. This plan was reportedly hatched with Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL), and the 30 odd Democrats will spend at least a week there. Given what we saw when they did this in 2021, denying a quorum for an election reform vote, there is no doubt a lot of grandstanding, dramatics, and cringe singing on the way.

President Trump on Friday said he’d like to “release everything” the government has on notorious late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and signaled that he’s leaning against pardoning rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs. Trump’s remarks about the Epstein files come a week after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche interviewed the deceased sex offender’s convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, for about nine hours at a federal prison in Florida. Trump said he hasn’t been asked to pardon Maxwell but “they have talked to me about Sean.” AP “I think [Blanche] probably wanted to know, you know, just to get a feeling of it, because we’d like to release everything,

Less than a year after President Trump won over the cryptocurrency crowd, some Democrats are trying to reclaim those voters — and the hundreds of millions they pour into elections — ahead of the midterm elections. They believe backing crypto-friendly Republican-led bills — namely the Genius Act, which passed earlier this month, and the Clarity Act, which is still awaiting final passage — as a critical step to rebuild trust with the digital asset community. “I’ve watched optimistically as American Democrats begin to tiptoe toward crypto,” Alex Konanykhin, founder and CEO of Unicoin, an equity-backed cryptocurrency, told me.

The Trump administration released a revised list of tariff rates against nearly 70 countries set to take effect next week. The announcement follows a four-month negotiating sprint with dozens of US trading partners to lock in one-for-one agreements — some of which are reflected in the new list. Among the notable rates that will be charged at 12:01 a.m. Aug. 7 — rather than on the Friday deadline initially announced by the White House — are 15% for Iceland and Israel, 30% for South Africa, 39% for Switzerland and 20% for Taiwan and Vietnam.

A terrorist who bragged about helping Osama bin Laden mastermind the 9/11 attacks could be freed from a UK prison within days — despite officials declaring him a “risk to national security.” Haroon Aswat — who previously set up an al-Qaeda training camp in the US — is set to be released from a secure psychiatric hospital unit where he’s currently locked up in the UK after he completes mental health treatment, The Sun reported. The twisted terrorist will be cut loose without a full risk assessment because of a legal loophole under the country’s Mental Health Act — a decision that’s sparked widespread fury.

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. I’d like to talk about illegal immigration, but specifically about the new president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum. She’s been very vocal about U.S. policy toward Mexico. For example, she said she would offer legal counsel to her citizens that were here illegally that were picked up, she thought, unfairly or too violently by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.She also said that the United States had no business taxing remittances—that is money that Mexican nationals here, for the most part illegally, send back to Mexico. She said, “Do not come into Mexican national ground if you’re going after the cartels.”

President Trump has had enough of the out-of-control violent crime in the District of Columbia, not to mention the exceptionally soft sentences being handed to offenders, and is threatening to "federalize" the Democrat-run city if nothing is done to address the problems. This comes after a DOGE staffer was severely beaten when he came to the aid of a woman being attacked by a rampaging mob of teen boys. Trump took to Truth Social to put Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser and the city council on notice that something needs to be done immediately—and if they won't do it, he will.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to order a full military occupation of the Gaza Strip to force Hamas to free the hostages, according to local reports. The expansion of the war would see the military, which already controls about 75% of Gaza, take over the remaining areas and conduct operations where the hostages are believed to be held, the Jerusalem Post reported. The move was reportedly made without the input of the Israeli military’s chief of staff Eyal Zamir — with Netanyahu instructing him to fall in line or resign, according to the internal memo sent out.
